The Institutional Membership Committee reviews and recommends to the General Conference standards for admission of new Members. The Committee considers recommendations for full membership in the Consortium, and also reviews current Members for compliance with the membership criteria. The Committee recommends changes in IES Abroad consortium membership to the General Conference and the Board of Directors based upon compliance reviews.

The Institutional Membership Committee is comprised of five members appointed to staggered three-year terms by the Chair of the General Conference in consultation with the President. Committee members may be reappointed only to serve as chair.
